Pop - Saint Louis

Our visit started off on a rather peculiar note. We arrived with a reservation, and a woman who appeared to be the manager came to assist us. Unfortunately, she seemed to have little knowledge about the champagne selections and struggled to pronounce the names correctly. When we inquired about the vintages, she didn’t have any answers and had to leave to ask for more information. Upon returning, she informed us that certain items were out of stock and mentioned that the menu had changed that very day. Her peculiar demeanor was off-putting, especially when we asked whether any of the chocolate bar items would still be available; it left us contemplating whether to leave. Fortunately, Alexa stepped in and provided exceptional customer service, which made the experience worthwhile. She welcomed us warmly and truly turned the evening around, making us feel appreciated as customers.

The small plates and cocktails were excellent. However, I was not impressed with the service. Overall, it's a nice spot for a date night.

My friend and I had a fantastic experience at Pop on Friday while celebrating my birthday. The staff went out of their way to ensure we had a fun party. Our server was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations. The champagne flight was enjoyable and affordable, and the food was delicious as well. We chose to sit outside and were treated to a lovely view of the beautiful garden area. Highly recommend!

I often passed by this restaurant on my way to the chocolate bar, but I'm so glad we decided to have dinner here! The drinks, food, service, and atmosphere were all spot on for a romantic night out.

As for the food, it definitely wasn't worth the $30 price tag—more like a $16 snack. We received a tiny charcuterie board and found the menu options to be quite limited. The only positive aspect was the restaurant's aesthetic and the selection of natural wines. I ended up spending $86 on tasteless food and drinks that didn't impress. Overall, I'd rate this place a 6/10. (By the way, we only visited Pop downstairs and didn’t go up to Baileys, so I can’t comment on that section.)
